24/04/2026 | 10:17:32 Mister President, Dear colleagues, I would like to speak today about values at the heart of a just and prosperous society: freedom, democracy, and human rights – and about a man whose journey embodies the struggle for all three: Mr Ekrem İMAMOĞLU. Mr Ekrem İMAMOĞLU’s political story is not just about winning elections; it is about reaffirming the power of the people. His historic victory in the Istanbul mayoral elections, not once but three times, proved that citizens will defend their... 23/04/2026 | 11:38:04 Madam President, Esteemed colleagues, The Middle East is facing an increasingly fragile and interconnected crisis. What we are witnessing today is not a series of isolated developments, but a broader pattern.

This trend has far-reaching consequences. First, it creates a climate of fear. When politicians are subjected to threats and abuse... 28/01/2026 | 13:02:23 Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2. Mr President, Esteemed Colleagues, Democracy is not inherited. It is renewed generation after generation by those who believe in its promise. And nowhere is this renewal more visible than in the energy, creativity, courage, and determination of young people. We have seen this vividly. During the Gezi Park uprising in Turkey, thousands of young people from diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and political opinions stood up to defend civic space...
